What is a functional chiropractor?

To keep it simple, the term refers to a chiropractor who does more than just crack your back. They will do a thorough exam to find out where body may need an adjustment including the use of thermal imaging and specific neurologic or muscle testing.

Do the adjustments hurt?

While particular areas in the spine can be tender, the techniques such as Blair Upper Cervical and Activator are light force techniques. Patients are more commonly surprised by how small the force actually is.

Do the adjustments hurt?

Are the adjustments safe?

Blair upper cervical technique is amongst the safest in the chiropractic field. There is no twisting or rotation of the neck and the force is very specific. The adjustment is around 10 square foot pounds of pressure. The drop table mechanism allows the force to be amplified without the need to apply excessive force.

Am I too young or too old for chiropractic?

I commonly see newborn patients. The average amount of pressure on a baby's neck in a normal vaginal birth is 60lbs of pressure! C-sections can get up to 120 pounds of pressure. If your child is failing to thrive, they should be checked for misalignments in the neck. The oldest patient I have seen was 102. Chiropractic is for people of all ages!

Do I need chiropractic if I don't have pain?

That's a great question! In order to answer it, it's important to understand 90% of the nerve is related other functions aside from pain. Only 10% of the nerve fiber is responsible for pain. It is possible to lose function without experiencing any pain. Some common things often not associated with a subluxation: nausea, dizziness, digestive issues, numbness/tingling, visual disturbances, rising in the ears, balance issues, insomnia, narcolepsy, epilepsy, skin rashes, and many more. Whether there's an issue or you are looking to be more functional version of yourselves, contact us to set up an exam to see where you are at!

Once I receive chiropractic care, I have to go for life, right?

The short answer is no. The best way to answer is to compare something that we've accepted as common-place. Most people are aware they need to get regular checkups at the dentist to maintain their teeth. How much more important is your nervous system? Long-term chiropractic care is always going to be good for your health, finding a frequency that works for you is where the answer lies.

How often do I need to come in?

Every program of care is designed exclusively for you. The doctor will recommend a program of care based off a thorough examination. Ultimately, it is your decision to choose to follow the recommendation or create your own frequency.

Why does my spine get out of alingment?

This is by far the most common question asked. The most commonly thought of way is the first of the three T's.

Trauma - Trauma can be micro or macro trauma. An example of micro-trauma would sitting at your desk for 8 hours in a row with poor posture. Over time, that will be abnormal stress on the joints in the body and eventually cause malfunction. A great example of macro-trauma would be a car accident. There is excessive force put on the body to extent that it will injure or damage certain tissues such as joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons etc. Macro-trauma will require more frequent visits for a longer duration.
Thoughts - Believe it or not, your thoughts have a significant impact on your body. Have you ever been so stressed out that you got sick? In the same way, positive thoughts can increase dopamine (a neurotransmitter in the body aiding in happiness and pleasure). One of my favorite quotes from a book called "Switch On Your Brain" goes something like, "If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, then you'd never think another negative thought again."
Toxins - The people that know me best know I can talk about this topic for days on end. The current world we live in is littered with toxins. My best recommendation is to start reading ingredient labels. My next best recommendation is to download an app called "Think Dirty" and start checking how toxic some of the products you use are.

Is it ok to crack my back or neck?

This is the quickest way to ruin an adjustment. We must first understand what's happening. When you twist you own neck or back in order to get the desired relief from a pop, what happens is that the bone that ends up moving is the one that is already hyper-mobile. Hyper-mobility is a big problem because it causes the spine to be unstable. What happens is you still get relief since there are neurotransmitters released from the joint when it happens. As most people who self-manipulate can attest to, minutes later you are left feeling the need to do the same thing again. Find someone who can perform a specific adjustment to the bone that is stuck, so that the entire spine can function like it was designed to.
